Answer:
<em>24 children</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
If the length of time, y hours, it takes to put a jigsaw puzzle together is inversely proportional to the number of children, x, this is represented as;
k is the constant of proportionality
If it takes 16 children 6 hours to put the jigsaw puzzle together, this means at x = 16, y = 6
Substitute:
6 = k/16
k = 6*16
k = 96
W are to find number of children needed to put the same jigsaw puzzle together in 4 hours, this is done by substituting k = 96 and y = 4 into the expression y = k/x
y = 96/4
y = 24
<em>Hence it will take 24 children to put the same jigsaw puzzle together in 4 hours</em>

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the percentage then...
Start by dividing both sides by 4:
Simplify the fraction:
Then, multiply the fraction by 50/50, so we can get a number over 100 (that number would be the percentage). Note we can only multiply it by 50/50 since it is essentially multiplying the fraction by 1.
